We're Dreaming of a White Christmas

Nicole, the red-head snow angelTrent, the tongue-out snow angel
Spencer, the cool-hat snow angel














I told you it was a lot of snow!
And it is still snowing!

It has snowed off and on this whole week. The roads have been icey and the kids had 2 hour late start for school on Monday and Tuesday. Then Wednesday morning we had about 5 inches of snow and an official SNOW DAY! The kids were out of school and they played in the snow for hours while Todd and I took the truck and did some shopping. Last night the weather took another stormy turn and this morning we woke up to about 12 inches of snow. Another SNOW DAY!!! This is record snow for the Petersens in Washington. It feels quite nostalgic and homey. As the kids were getting dressed in their snow gear, everyone took another giant step forward on their right of passage. Spencer had to wear my boots and snow pants, and Kyle is wearing Todd's. Nicole and Trent are wearing whatever fits from previous years of snow play. All of my children aged a whole year or two in a matter of minutes. But or course, I did not get any older at all.
